The Color Purple‘s Rotten Tomatoes score has arrived, and the new adaption beats Steven Spielberg’s 1985 movie. Based on a 1982 novel of the same name by Alice Walker, the new adaptation hails from director Blitz Bazawule, with cast that includes Fantasia Barrino, Taraji P. Henson, Halle Bailey, Colman Domingo, and Danielle Brooks, among others. The film follows Celie as she undergoes a series of struggles in her life in rural Georgia in the early 1900s, ultimately finding strength through sisterhood.
Now, ahead of The Color Purple‘s release date, the Rotten Tomatoes score for the film has been revealed to be, as of this writing, a strong 85%, with 62 reviews. This beats the 73% that Spielberg’s adaptation earned, though the score for the 2023 film is likely to fluctuate as more reviews are added.
